Delicious gluten free fish and chips, along with gravy and curry sauce. So nice as a coeliac to have great options and feel safe!

Gail K

Fantastic find that they offer gluten free fish n chips. I also had the sudden salad & it was huge!! Wish I lived local. Love the old fashioned booths too, nice charm & lots of staff too (a rare find these days)

Lovely views from the cafe over the lake. Was offered good selection of gluten free food by the chef

We came into the lounge yesterday as a walk in of 6. Although they were extremely busy we were greeted at the door with smiles and informed of what to do and the fact there was a wait on food. They also asked for our dietary requirements which was superb as im gluten free. They seated us promptly at a clean table which was a nice surprise in such a busy place. We ordered our food and drink at the bar as suggested by the app due to my gluten allergy. We were informed by the girl ar the bar that she wasn't able to take the order but she would get her manager to take the order. Within a matter of a few seconds both the manager and the girl was back. He proceeded to take our order looking after mine first and read it all back to make sure it was correct. Drinks arrived promptly and we enjoyed the atmosphere whilst waiting. We were informed of how long our food was going to take at every available moment. The manager himself took the opportunity to make sure we were okay with everything whilst waiting. He also brought my gluten free food first which was another surprise as I often am left last to eat. All members of staff who were on tonight should be proud of themselves. I never once saw a drop in service even across other tables and it was nice still being interacted with. The food was also impeccable, with being a chef myself I know what it's like in a hot kitchen especially when it's busy so we'll done chefs! Last I want a special mention to the manger himself. He was always doing something but made sure we weren't forgotten and it made the experience 10 times better. We will be back!

Andrea was absolutely lovely and helped with me the gluten free menu as I am a coeliac

James Thomas

A great cafe tucked inside the theatre. Was recommended to us and it didn't disappoint. Great range of veggie and gluten free food.

Louise woolgrove

Great options for gluten free. Tends to get busy on evenings, and when there is a concert on at the Open air theatre, so pre booking is advised! Blue light card is accepted here too !

Tom Grierson

Lovely fish and chips, gobbled it all up. Fish itself was well cooked and you could tell it was fresh. Gluten-free fish also available which was probably the best I've tried so far. Batter was crispy which does sometimes seem to be a struggle with GF options. Used the outdoor seating area which was under cover and kept us out of the rain which had started to fall briefly. Toilet situation reminds me of the old outdoor toilet at my Aunties pit cottage! Only suggestion would be to make the fact GF is offered more obvious as I don't recall seeing it on the menu (unless I am blind). It was on a sign outside however.

Taz K

We come here every week as they do gluten-free and it is superb value. The staff are all great as well. It's obviously a well liked place as they are always busy. Don't forget that there is seating downstairs.

Angelique Haswell

I was very excited to try The Princess when I saw they advertised Gluten Free Fish & Chips. Sadly it didn't live up to expectations. The waitress couldn't tell me how big the medium or large fish were when ordering, nor did she offer to ask the kitchen. The batter on the fish was over cooked and not light and golden as advertised. Based on today's visit I wouldn't eat there again!

Naomi Hawkins

Food ok Service not great . A lot of rushing around and not attentive at all. Wouldn’t change gluten free bread on any dishes. Tables left with dirty plates , difficult to get someone’s attention, shell found in our breakfast but nobody came to us for a mid meal check back. Shame really as it’s a very lovey looking cafe but won’t rush back.

Simon

Delicious gluten free fish and chips with very large portions. Service was excellent with friendly and polite staff. Plenty of parking around the back of the restaurant.

Jessica Good

Went with my mum, we decided to go based on how amazing and fresh the food looked online and it didn't disappoint. I eat gluten free, I was catered for and even better, the gf bread they use isn't the sort that turns to a dusty mush, so that was nice. We both had soy lattes and they were so creamy. We'll go back.

Today I’ve had a few hours in Scarborough. I was delighted to find this lovely coffee shop tucked away in the corner of the Brunswick Centre. It’s light, bright and clean with easy access frontage to the counter etc and a small amount of seating and there’s more seating out in the covered central area of the Centre ( maybe 30 seats). Although I only had time for a cuppa as I had a train to catch, it was great to see a variety of plant based milks available at no extra charge. Bonus points for the amazing gluten free cakes available and not the boring gf chocolate cake that seems to be the standard offering in many places. Will definitely be back!

Samantha Dransfield

This gluten free pizza is just amazing! Full size too which us coeliacs usually get diddled & given small portions, but not here . The only downside is no gluten free peroni. Fab pizza. Fab staff

Mike Smith

Fantastic place - great food, great value, great place to eat. Staff were friendly and fun. Really good experience here. Easy to get gluten free options.

Faith Young

A lovely evening meal with work colleagues for a Christmas get-together! A large menu with lots of choice, including gluten free options. Food arrived quickly and was very tasty. Popular with groups and families.

Olivia Lawson

Lovely cafe situated just off the main streets in the centre of Scarborough town centre. Really worth a visit as the food here is amazing! I'm coeliac and they were able to cater gluten free for me- I was advised all options on the menu except two could be adapted to be gluten free for me which was brilliant! Food tasted amazing (the gluten free option pic is the halloumi wrap which was done on a gluten free ciabatta roll instead) and tasted amazing! Didn't stay to try the cakes unfortunately but there was a gluten free lemon drizzle on offer!

mike murray

Great food staff was so helpful, great choices for a Gluten Free diet. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Have eaten in many restaurants all over the world definitely in my top 5. Definitely one of the must-eat places to go.

J r

Excellent for vegans and for gluten free. The owner was super attentive to our preferences and they have loads of variety. A must stop on your day out!

Judy Kilner

Evening meals good. Gluten free menu available. Buffet breakfast awful. Fried eggs like rubber. Fresh fruit not varied or very fresh.

Material Moves

Just lovely. Gluten free options too...bonus

Liz & Earle O'Neil

A lovely little cafe with a lovely view serving a great range of food. I'm a coeliac and had such a choice of gluten free food. The cheesecake was really good. On another day I had a delicious chilli meal. Great coffee too.

Maria Elena

Best cafe in Scarborough. The cafe is Vegan/Gluten Free food only. I'm Gluten intolerant and although my partner isn't Gluten intolerant or Vegan, he really enjoys the food here. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Clean. Waiting times aren't long. Wi-fi

99% polite friendly staff. 1 assistant manager (because the General Manager was too busy, apparently to speak to us), let us down. My husband had phoned in advance of the booking to ensure they could cater for me as a gluten-free vegan, which they repeatedly said yes. Breakfast was a plate of beans with grilled tomatoes. Their bread was not vegan and gluten-free. I had a long day ahead of me and needed to travel to meetings for the full day. My husband tried to explain the situation to the assistant manager. My husband showed her the picture of a plate of beans and tomatoes to say this is not a decent breakfast. She was not bothered and asked my husband what he expexted and could not see what was wrong with a plate of beans and tomato until he asked her if that was what she would be happy with for breakfast? Her attitude and tone were upsetting and unprofessional. When my husband said gluten-free, even egg free bread would be nice. She suggested I have fruit for breakfast. My husband explained I don't eat a plate of fruit for breakfast. (I have 1 piece after each meal). He again explained he had made a call in advance of the booking and clearly explained my dietary requirements, and they had said they could meet my dietary requirements. In the end, I was so upset I went to tesco and purchased a loaf of gluten-free bread. The next morning, the 2 catering staff Mr Bal and a lovely blonde lady who we had explained our situation to on day 1, had already spoken to the chef Aran, who then went ton to make arrangements for me to have a vegan gluten-free breakfast, which included vegan gluten-free bread. On arrival, we had also upgraded to a seafront larger room for extra payment per night for a 2 night stay. The smell of damp and mould was unpleasant even though we kept the windows open all the time. We both came away coughing, worsening asthma, wheezing. Lovely staff except assistant manager could have been more polite, professional and helpful. I would not recommend if you have any dietary requirements or if you want to avoid the smell of damp and mould as it worsened asthma symptoms. Lovely location. They did send fruit to the room as an apology, but with the heat and smell, we just could not bear to eat it and the attitude of the assistant manager was not right..The afterthought whilst kind was too late. No AC in rooms. We did nit use Spa / Gym facilities felt claustrophobic when we passed through to look.

I came here with my partner while on a weekend holiday break, it seemed a change although it seems you do need to book for a table otherwise your told to stand and wait. My partner had a fantastic looking meal, however they don't cater for Gluten free options and I didn't eat.

Sandie Bogdanowicz

I’m gluten intolerant and I’ve never seen a non-chain takeaway pizza place to have gluten free bases. The gluten free pizza was absolutely amazing. It looked like a wheat base and had the lovely crusty chewy crust like one. This was defo home made. No Schar frozen base in sight (shame on you Domino’s!). I’d died and gone to heaven! If only you had a place in Derby. First place I’ll be visiting when I return to Scarborough.

Shoaib Umer

Great breakfast, great service, lovely option for gluten free also. Reasonable price too.

Dave Tucker

Absolutely brilliant place - the service is excellent and the food was really good. They are super switched on around allergens etc. and the Gluten Free burger was one of the best we'd had, even had GF beers to wash it down with. Would highly recommend.

B K

Lovely staff, lady we.think her name was Morgan, very friendly polite and professional, all other staff also attentive. Very good with vegan and gluten-free options as in Scarborough it's difficult to find, but at Askims they were thorough and careful with my dietary requirements. We would definitely recommend 👌

karen parke

First time at Seven for years ... and it was so much better than I remembered 👌🏻 it's dog friendly , and the dogs get a free sausage when you spend over £5 . They do gluten free food too 😋 so I could enjoy really good food and not worry. It was really busy when we went for brunch, but the girls were super efficient, so polite , and nothing was too much trouble ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Casey Jones

We had great service by David food was great they have a good gluten free options

Andy Corkhill

Brilliant, booked a table for Sunday roast. Food was fantastic and so rare for my wife who is Coeliac to get a full gluten free roast to include the gravy and obligatory yorkshire pudding. Staff were great too. Excellent.

Kat Moo

Lovely little cafe , , nice coffee , but can’t offer coeliacs any gluten free cakes/ food Come on- cater for all your clients it’s 2025!

James Waugh

Lovely staff and lovely food, the place has a really nice style inside and a good selection of choices for starters and mains. Caters very well for gluten and other intolerances

Adam Barr

Andrew Baxter

The hotel is a little bit dark. It is comfortable, nice lounge and conservatory with tv. Meals are good decent value. I am gluten free and staff were helpful bringing the toast separately and cornflakes. Could have done with some additional fruit on buffet.

Karen Lacy

Lovely food, good service, lovely location. Also gluten free cake provided.

Faith Young

A nice place to meet friends or a client (in my case). Service was very quick and I had a tea and a cake. I understand there is a gluten free menu, which is great news for me and others who follow a GF diet.

Lorraine Adams

Fantastic gluten free sweet & sour chicken, veggie tofu dishes. Really liked the fried broccoli too. Best Chinese Takeaway I have had in years.

Mike Hall

A great chippie, frying traditionally in beef dripping. They also offer a gluten free option. Everything cooked to order.

Ross McKenzie

Visited this coffee shop as we were passing and could get parked outside across the road. Probably one of the tastiest gluten free bacon sandwiches I've had. Coffee was great too. Absolutely set me up for the day.

David Hamer

Great place for gluten free Staff are fantastic we were both very well looked after and it wasn't expensive 😀

romano goi

This place is gorgeous, food is absolutely fantastic and especially for gluten free

Mike Hall

You will be surprised how good this place is, the menu is limited in range, but wide on options, with gluten free highlighted, the staff are to a fault helpful, pleasant and supportive and the environment simply stunning.

LM Designs

Terrific English breakfast with great coffee. Don’t understand complaints as all three of us had a great meal. They even had gluten free options.

Christine Berrisford

We ate at Cafe Fish for the first time last night and it was just fantastic. As a coeliac, eating out can sometimes be a bit of a trial, so being able to choose from such an extensive GF menu absolutely delighted me. All four of our dishes looked great and tasted amazing. Thank you so much. Now we've discovered you, we will DEFINITELY see you again. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Wow! This little gem punches way beyond its weight! Andre the Italian owner - chef, provides the customers with typical Italian cuisine. No delusions of grandeur here, just provision of the authentic delicious real genuine Italian food. The sit-down cosy restaurant is an intimate setting for that celebratory evening, and the table service is second to none, just right. Feel the Italian ambience, Italians really are good with food.! This little restaurant is relatively new, it’s definitely a little gem and it is fast becoming a go -to stop for the genuine discerning foodie. No airs & graces, no frills, the focus of course is on the provision of genuine quality Italian food. We love it.! It’s also a great place for take-away Pizza, excellent Italian quality of course. Dante is a most welcome addition to Scarborough’s eateries, it’s one of the only Italian owned & managed truly Italian food establishments. No fake or Anglicised Italian cuisine here. Quality matters.! Booking is advisable to guarantee your table. Gluten free is catered for, and as always, with pleasure.
